Selection of basic representatives of new generation technology

The purpose of the study. The process of enterprise development involves the implementation of a sequence of projects, each of which has its own life cycle. One of the main tasks of the company's management is to provide conditions for each of the projects to start paying off. Given the fact that modern projects, as a rule, have a fairly long implementation period, it should be recognized that the decision to implement the project in full will probably not be the most optimal. As a rule, in this case, they prefer to divide the project into stages or, as is customary in industrial construction, into queues. Materials and methods. The formal statement of the tasks defining: the minimum number of basic representatives, minimization of terms of preparation of production of new types of equipment and minimization of time of production of basic representatives of new equipment is given. For cases of small dimension of the problem, an exact algorithm based on a complete search of options is proposed. For the case of large-dimensional problems, a compositional algorithm is proposed, which consists in dividing the entire set of products into several subsets, to each of which an exact algorithm is applied. Results. The algorithms considered are based on a threshold scheme for solving an optimization problem, when a threshold value of the creation time of one of the products is introduced, which will coincide with one of the components of the vector that sets the standard creation time of each of the products. In this case, iterative and decomposition algorithms can also be used. The case of solving this problem as a problem of partial covering of a bipartite graph is considered separately. An algorithm for obtaining a lower estimate of the problem based on the network programming method is given. Conclusion. The analysis was carried out and the procedure for selecting the basic products of a new generation of equipment was developed, which allows, depending on the conditions set by the decision-maker (LPR), to determine the basic product of the technology direction that most fully corresponds to the functional, constructive and technological features of the generation of equipment.
